I won it and bought a corner sofa made out of Gucci belts, then used what was left over to buy bathwater from Belle Delphine.
 
If you can find out the total number of people that haven't won it, then subtract that from the total population of the UK, that'll be your answer ;)
 
I won it. I bought an Apache Gunship and filled it with hookers, cattle prods, several bin bags of crystal meth, three ant farms and a midget. Can't remember what happened next.

Idiot tax innit.
Plenty of smart people play it. With full knowledge of the odds.

I guess they're just optimists :p And they have money to burn.

I'm exceptionally tight with my money so even £1 a week on a hopeless cause is too much :p

You're saving double by not playing.

The entry fee to the Lotto draw was set at £1 per board from its introduction, and increased to £2 in October 2013.
 
I always wondered where the millionaire winners go, as you never hear about them. The old-style lotto that begun in 1994 generated a millionaire roughly once per week. Let's say 50 per year. That's just on the Saturday draw. When the £2 draw got introduced 5-10 years ago the jackpot was increased but there was still the lesser millionaire winner, again once a week. I think it was generated from a barcode on the lotto ticket itself. So I think the lotto must have generated around 1,500 millionaires in its lifetime now. That's at least 1 millionaire in every major UK town.
 
I won the £175m Euro millions jackpot but they wanted me to go down to London to collect it but CBA with the hassle of traveling so didn't go.
 
I won a tenner on the first and last time I played back in 2001. Decided to quit whilst I was up.

That count?
